Jon boats lend themselves really well to a number of modifications. In fact, a Jon boat has such a versatile design that it can be easily converted into a bass boat. The humble Jon boat is legendary for its simplicity, versatility and ease of use. It is just the thing for long easy days idling around your favorite fishing spots or for hunting in the shallows. Not only are Jon boats an affordable and accessible watercraft but their simple, uniform structure lends itself to a whole host of customization and upgrade projects. So it is no wonder that a popular goal for the experienced angling aficionado or boat hobbyist is to convert a cheaper Jon boat into, what is usually a much more expensive, bass boat. Seen as a huge step-up from a Jon boat, the bass boat can be fabricated from fiberglass or, more commonly, aluminum and comes equipped with many fishing conveniences. It is a boat that is built for practicality but with extra comfort and the high speed capability for taking on a variety of waterways. Both of these small boats are a great choice for anglers, but you need to be aware of the features that make them different. If you are looking at your Jon boat, and imagining a bad boy bass boat, then you need to get to work on key conversion projects.
